The Moon in Aries conjunct Mercury in Aries at 1:57 AM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon moves out of Aries into Taurus at 5:42 PM EDT where it will last until Wednesday - May 8, 2024 at 7:20 PM EDT.

The Moon in Taurus square Pluto in Taurus at 9:08 PM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The BIG NEWS today is it is the 'Eve' of the New Moon in Taurus, which will occur tomorrow at 11:22 PM EDT at 18 degrees 02 minutes, but for now, the Moon is still in Aries until 5:42 PM EDT, so we will process this day with that in mind.

The Moon in Aries will conjunct Mercury in Aries at 1:47 AM EDT, so by the time everyone is awake and moving around, the intensity of this conjunction will already be on its way out the door. In fact, this aspect was more intense last night than it is this morning. This aspect may have caused you to have a hard time going to sleep with your mind racing or it may have caused you to wake-up and have a hard time going back to sleep due to your mind racing.

The Moon will then move into Taurus at 5:42 PM EDT where it will then make a square to Pluto in Aquarius at 9:08 PM EDT. Keep in mind this aspect is stirring around all day in the 'orb of influence' before it becomes exact.

The Moon square Pluto is intense and emotional, over-reacting and dramatic, as you try to figure out how you can make your Life simplier, quieter and all of your problems less obvious. If you lose your emotions, then 'count on' outbursts complete with the ramped up noise. This aspect wants to loosen or remove any ties that bind or confine you. Read that last sentence again. That means someone could be screaming "That's it! Take it all. Take everything! Just go, so I can finally have some peace and quiet!"

Folks, this square begins in the 'orb of influence' somewhere between 7:08 AM EDT and 9:08 AM EDT since there is a 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' before and after exactness. So this ramp-up of out-of-control emotions is festering like a foul smelling cavity in your mouth, ready to breathe on anyone in your path.

This aspect will unload trivial and petty details in the middle of an argument that don't really matter. That's such a 'juvenile' approach because it solves nothing and is only flame-throwing. It's like saying in the middle of an argument, "And remember when I gave you that $2.35 because you didn't have enough cash on you!" Good grief! Give that person $5.00 just to shut them up! It'll be a bargain to shut that childish mouth.

So do you see how ridiculous the Moon square Pluto can get? Since this aspect is so intense and leads us up to the New Moon in Taurus tomorrow, then be constructive, instead of destructive especially where your self-worth is concerned.

Taurus is all about self-worth, morals and values, which translates into net-worth earned income and personal finances. Why devalue yourself today by spewing ugliness? Just stop already. Juvenile behavior on an adult is never going to look attractive.

The intensity of this aspect can be put into something constructive and ambitious. This aspect is intense, so use it in the best possible way to 'create'. Tomorrow's New Moon in Taurus coupled with the Sun sextile Saturn is super-dooper ambitious and goal-oriented. DO NOT get tripped-up in trivial pursuits!!! Understand that Pluto 'can be' dark and sinister, so why allow yourself to be over-taken and infiltrated by that energy? Turn this energy on its head and use it to your advantage and either create or purge and clean up.

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.
